i liked ronald reagan. i respected ronald reagan. i disagreed with his policies. this is the obama derangement syndrome. that you just heard. word for word. the idea that president obama admits that he experimented with drugs, the only difference between him and george w. bush is he admits him and george w. bush denied it and the media let him get away with it. look what obama has accomplished in his lifetime and look at his policies as president and tell me where you disagree with him rather than, which this guy just did. that's the book. go after him personally. they can't -- they cannot help themselves.
